European Union regulators have accused Microsoft of engaging in potentially abusive practices that violate the bloc's antitrust rules. The accusation stems from Microsoft's bundling of its Teams messaging and videoconferencing app with its widely used business software.
The European Commission expressed concerns that Microsoft's actions may be restricting competition by integrating Teams with core office productivity applications like Office 365 and Microsoft 365. The commission suspects that Microsoft may have given Teams a distribution advantage by not providing customers with the option to choose whether to include Teams when purchasing the software.
